"Gorgeous" is how fans describe the wares at this "modern, well-designed" Old City lighting and art gallery that's almost like "visiting a museum" with its high-end contemporary lamps, fixtures and furniture (beds, sofas, tables) from European companies like Artemide, Cassina and Ingo Maurer; yes, it'll cost you "mucho bucks", but luckily browsing is free.

If you're just passing through, you might not have use for the design services of this impeccably modern lighting and art gallery, one of Old City's pioneers. Still, stop in for a look at one of the best collections of pieces from Knoll, Cassina, B&B Italia, Artemide, and Ingo Maurer on the East Coast. You'll want to move in.

It's hard to find a coffeehouse that's strictly local and not part of a national chain, but this is the real McCoy. A neighborhood spot that roasts its own coffee and bakes most of its own pastries, it has a lot of atmosphere and is a great place for just hanging out.
